Nas saoire, nas luaithe, nas fheàrr?

Cheaper, faster, better?

We saw buadhairean coimeasach (comparative adjectives) and  buadhairean feabhasach (superlative adjectives) before in B1 Cuspair 1. We learnt that we put:

nas with the buadhair caolaichte (slenderised adjective) to make a buadhair coimeasach (comparative); and

as with a buadhair caolaichte (slenderised adjective) to make a buadhair feabhasach (superlative).
